Pinning: Halloween ideas. (I want to make this witch skirt so my daughter can ask me for the ninth year in a row, “are you really going to be a witch, again?”

Listening to:Kip Moore. I have been in love with this album for a long time, I am addicted to it this week. I even like to listen to it when I fall asleep. It also helps that this song, is the song Jonathan and I would dance to every night when we went back to Saba a couple years ago.

sad about: my kids going off to school.

Smiling about: Tessa starting her new dance class.

Laughing about: seeing this picture after years; hanging in a historic building in Payson, UT. That was me in 1996, when I was Miss Payson. Can you say Bleach blonde hair? To my credit, I had my hair done the night before and instead of doing the typical highlights my stylist normally did; she gave me a heavy highlight.

Grateful for: the blessing of living in UT. Recognizing that is a blessing to spend more time with family. Also amazed at the beauty of this State.

Wishing: we could just pack up tomorrow and go to Disneyland.

Saving for: a new Bosch. Mine broke over 6 months ago and it can’t be fixed. I am ready to make bread again.

Preparing for: family pictures. Picking out bows, and jewelry, shoes, and clothes.

Hoping that: our pictures don’t get rained out again. Remember this storm in UT county? This little big number ruined picture day for our fam.

Such a fun post! I have been thinking about you often as I have worked toward getting my home organized and pretty (as you know I love your ideas and admire your ability to get it done). Also as fall has hit here in CO -- I think fall will always remind me of you. Miss you.

OK! Somewhat crazy that that post is exactly what I am going through too! 1. I am making that same exact wreath! 2. I am going to be a witch too, although it is Glenda the Good from wizard of oz. That is our theme this year :) 3. Same-school, dance, wishing to go to Disney etc.... 4. And I just finished picking out our colors/outfits for family pictures! lol!! We seriously need to get together sometime :) And I hope your MRI goes well. Hope everything is ok. {hugs}
